Effective Managers = Effective Organizations

These days, the demands of leadership are more complex than ever. More and more, organizations are seeking ways to develop leaders with not only competence, but Character as well. Companies need leaders who will not just be decisive, but will make the right decisions. And organizations need managers who can thrive in today’s “do more with less” world. What’s more, as the current generation of executives retires, experts predict a serious shortfall in managers qualified to replace those leaders.

FranklinCovey’s The 7 Habits for Managers workshop is an intensive application-oriented learning experience that addresses the entire role of the manager. This workshop gives new and experienced managers a set of tools that will help them meet all of today’s management challenges, including:

• Conflict resolution
• Prioritization
• Performance management
• Accountability and trust
• Execution
• Collaboration
• Team and employee development

Participants will learn how to:

• Increase resourcefulness and initiative
• Define the contribution they want to make in their role as managers
• Manage performance through a balance of accountability and trust
• Give constructive feedback
• Improve team decision-making skills by embracing - even encouraging - diverse viewpoints

How does The 7 Habits of Managers differ from traditional leadership training?

Compare for yourself:

Traditional	7 Habits for Managers
The ‘Industrial-Age’ approach: providing generic ’skills and techniques’ needed to control employee behaviour. Management without the foundation of character training and the discipline to manage themselves first. Managers trained to a standardard of minimal competence—who then give minimally back to the organization.	The ‘Age of Knowledge Work’ approach: unleashing the potential of team members, freeing them to make their best contribution. Managers who work on their character, who manage themselves effectively before trying to lead others. Managers bring their ‘whole selves’ to work, define their unique contribution, and who achieve great and enduring results.

Build A Foundation of Effectiveness

The 7 Habits for Managers workshop is a powerful application of the 7 Habits to the role of the manager.
